I just saw Chocolate in Netflix and this movie is awesome. The fighting scenes are at par if not better than Hongkong based films. I've already seen at lot of Thai action films and they're good.

Magnolia put out a disappointly bare-bones DVD when there are so many extras that could have been included. So, there’s not much to talk about in reviewing this DVD. I give Mark credit for correctly pointing out how Magnolia really dropped the ball in marketing Jeeja Yanin’s name and this great film. I opted for the UK release from Showbox Media which IS loaded with the special features.

I just wanted to say that, the action & martial arts movies that come from asia are at least better than the crap that comes from the states with wannabe martial artist and stupid cgi. and cheap wire work.Hollywood use lots of money for their movies,but I don’t see were there put it in?Were as HK or Thailand use less money and make good movies like Ong-Bak or Flash point for example.I think personaly the french make pretty good action martial arts movies like B13 for example.

I Don’t know some of those “pop stars” have me impressed. i think Nick Tse is an impressive martial artist and he’s done some stunts i don’t think i would do for good money. i will admit i hate wire work though, but that goes for any movie.

To be honest I’m happy with the stuff that’s coming out lately, HK or otherwise. Especially from Donie yen. Flash Point and IP Man are some of the best martial arts movies iv seen. And thanks to the succes of MMA it seems to me the world is hungry for more. its expanding. we,ve got the guys iv seen on here making a Silat movie. that will be cool to see. Ther’s Cyril Raffaelli in France using Savet with Distric B13. Ma Boy Lateef Crowder showing off Capoiera in Tony Jaa’s Tom Yum Goon. Donie Yen showing us that jujitsu can be choreographed and exciting in Flashpoint. and i Myself, am a young film maker trying to bring Eskrima to the table.

JPV, I totally agree with you. Hong Kong movie ain’t what it use to be. The Hong Kong film industry is really dumb to use hong kong pop stars to do martial arts films. Pop Stars should just stay to pop music and that’s it.

Am I the only one who didn’t think the action in this movie was all that great? It may have been the result of staying in character, but i could see JeeJa “thinking” between her moves. I think she has great athleticism but the choreography was just a staggered series of power moves with some light hand and foot work thrown in. The choreography in Jaa’s movies is similarly paced, but his power moves are so explosive I don’t even care.

I’m really liking this new wave of Thai action films because I feel HK action cinema has been lacking in guts lately, but I’m hoping either Hong Kong stops putting their pretty boys on wires and calling them action stars or Thailand starts getting more intricate with their choreography.
